Title: Digital Archives Program Plan: The Austin History Center - Preparing for Austin's Digital Future
Authors: Donovan, Anne Marie
Abstract: This report examines the issue of digital archiving at the AHC from two perspectives. First, it examines the City of Austin's need to address the identification, management and preservation of its digital materials, including electronic records, whether they are deemed "historical" or not. Second, it examines the City's requirement for digital archiving in the context of the AHC's role as a collecting archives, a role in which the Center must be prepared to accept and preserve historical materials that will increasingly be presented in a variety of digital formats. The report closes with specific recommendations for the implementation of digital asset management policies and procedures and the establishment of two digital archives projects in Austin.
